Blue Cheeses

"Many centuries ago, cheese was left to age in some moldy cave and became streaked with bluish-green mold. But rather than spoiling the cheese, the mold gave it a pungent and distinctive flavor, and blue cheese was born."

So begins a most interesting website devoted to the many wondrous and varied blue cheeses of the world.

Twenty–seven different blue cheeses are described, with 17 of them pictured alongside their capsule histories.

But the crack research team found something even better — much better.

Namely, the blue cheese department at igourmet.com.

Six pages featuring detailed descriptions and scrumdiddlyumptious photos of 61 blue cheeses, each and every one ready to be shipped to your door at the click of your mouse.

Nice.
